Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:
Lose It for Your Liver

June 16th, 2011 - Men's Health - Kiera Aaron

Your beer belly might lead to cirrhosis. A new Scandinavian study found that simply being overweight could harm your liver even more than regular boozing.
 
Researchers have known about the connection between obesity and liver problems, but little was known about how much risk there actually is—especially in relation to alcohol.
 
In the present study, out of almost 900 subjects, 14 developed cirrhosis in a 40-year period. They all had one thing in common: a high BMI. Everyone with cirrhosis had a BMI greater than 25, which is considered overweight; Twenty-one percent of them were obese.
 
Alcohol abuse, on the other hand, didn't seem to be a risk factor. Those who drank more did show a risk for cirrhosis but researchers say that it wasn't statistically significant--unlike being overweight.
 
Of course, it's not fair to say that the high BMI caused the liver damage--it could be merely a correlation. Not to mention, alcohol makes people fat in the first place. But researchers do believe that obesity contributes to liver problems. "Fat releases pro-inflammatory signals, which increase the amount of fat in the liver," says Nancy Reau, M.D., and specialist in liver diseases at the University of Chicago Medical Center. This can cause fatty liver disease, which can ultimately lead to cirrhosis--or scarring of the liver.
 
Do you really need another reason to lose weight? (If so, here are 20.) One more: Exercise removes fat from the liver, as we reported in Clean Your Filters.
 
Advice for overweight guys (besides slimming down): "Drinking alcohol makes the damage worse, so people who are overweight should moderate their drinking," says Dr. Reau.
 
As for drinking, moderation is the key. Moderate drinking--two drinks a day at most for men--can actually help you live longer!
Take Action:
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
  • Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?

UN could OK historic gay rights resolution Friday
June 16, 2011 - AP

The United Nations is poised to deliver a historic call for gay rights Friday when it votes on a U.S.-backed resolution that demands equality for people regardless of sexual orientation and orders a global investigation of violence and discrimination against gays.

Obama administration officials believe they have a majority of support in the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva for the resolution, which would be the first such statement to pass a U.N. vote.

The issue of gay rights has polarized nations at the U.N. for years. Despite growing acceptance for gay rights Western nations and parts of Latin America, lawyers say human rights treaties don't offer adequate protection against discrimination and mistreatment.

The resolution would take a first step toward redressing the problem. Drafted by South Africa, it expresses "grave concerns at acts of violence and discrimination, in all regions of the world," against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals. It commissions a global inquiry, to be completed by year's end, into their treatment.

The administration has led diplomatic efforts in support of the measure, seeking to reverse years of U.S. ambiguity on the subject under President George W. Bush.

In March, the U.S. issued a nonbinding declaration in favor of gay rights that gained the support of more than 80 countries at the U.N. The international push has coincided with domestic efforts to end the ban on gays openly serving in the U.S. military and discrimination against gays in federal housing.

The Bush administration didn't support a French resolution at the U.N. General Assembly in 2008 that addressed similar concerns, and joined Russia, China, the Vatican and Islamic states in opposition. The U.S. said it feared some language that would infringe on the right of American states to legislate matters such as gay marriage.

In December, the Obama administration held back from voting for a U.N. resolution condemning killings of vulnerable people around the world after proposing an amendment to protect people based on their sexual orientation. At issue was a separate legal dispute over international human rights law.

U.N. General Assembly and Human Rights Council resolutions aren't legally binding. They reflect the view of the majority of the world's nations.

But gay rights advocates say they are important even when their immediate legal effect is null. Because gay rights are hotly contested in many parts of Africa, the Middle East and elsewhere, a resolution helps establish a legal norm such as those that exist for the protection of women, religious minorities, children and other vulnerable or marginalized groups. Over time, many of these become undisputed standards of human rights.

American officials believe they've secured a slim majority of the council's 47 members in clear support of the gay rights resolution.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
